Following a strong growth of 6.1% in 2023, Brazil's iron ore mine production is projected to continue its upward trajectory, reaching 436.1 million tonnes (Mt) in 2024.
Vale, Brazil's largest iron ore producer, has been instrumental in driving the country's production growth. The company's strong performance at mines such as S11D and Vargem Grande contributed significantly to the 4.1% increase in the company’s iron ore output during the first half of 2024 (151.4Mt). Moreover, Vale's ambitious expansion plans, including the target of producing 340-360Mt by 2026, position it for continued growth in the coming years.
Beyond Vale, other companies are also contributing to Brazil's iron ore production. The planned commencement of Horizonte Minerals' Araguaia project and the expansion of CSN Mineração's capacity are expected to further boost the country's output.
